well we have 2 baby boys!!! 4.4 oz and 4.7 oz!!!! izzy had to have a c-section. i let her puch for about 1 1/2 and nothing so off to the vet we went. they did a vaginal exam on her and said she was fully dilated but there was no way that pup could get threw the birth canal. all went great during the surgery.momma is ok and so are the puppies but i have a few questions
1. they said her milk has came in good yet and the puppies would nurse and that would help alot. well i tried to get them to nurse but no luck. i would put the on her but they would latch on. so i bottle feed both and stimulated them to pee. no numer 2 yet.
2. how much do i feed them??? i have no clue how much they need. i know every two hrs or so but no clue how much. the vet gave me a can of esbiilac formula for them and i have two bottles!! it says like 15 oz. is the smallest amount on the bottle.
3. will izzy come around and want to be with the puppies?? right now she has nothing to do woth them.. she will lay there when i am right beside her but they will not latch on for nothing. i tried puttin a little karo syrup on her teets but that didnt help..
any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!!! |
